Thermo King TRIPAC-3: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 24E042000 · 1,503 units potentially affected · filed May 31, 2024
What's wrong
Thermo King Corp. (Thermo King) is recalling certain Tripac-3 Auxiliary Power Units (APU) with part number 800908, manufactured between April 8, 2024, and May 15, 2024. The APU mounting kits contain mounting bolts that are too short and can loosen.
Why it matters
Loose bolts may result in the APU detaching from the vehicle and becoming a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the APU mounting bolts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2024. Owners may contact Thermo King customer service at 1-952-887-2200.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
